Pride

Two seconds of exposure time during an exceptional sunset on the shores of Provincetown, MA (“P-Town) looking Westward over Cape Cod Bay. “Pride.” is as seen, an exceptional assemblage of diversity of shades of blue, red, orange, yellow, brown, and black. This union of all shades of all types from all corners is emblematic to me of the essence of what P-Town has become today, a respite of diversity, acceptance, tolerance, and love.

I am honored to present “Pride.” as a limited edition of only 25 prints with 10% of all proceeds donated back to the Association to Preserve Cape Code (APCC) for their excellent work across the greater Cape Cod ecosystem.

Seaside Light.

An abstract coastal scene that captures that special midday light that can illuminate water to varying shades of blue and green. Yellow inclusions were derived from low tide sand bars in the distance. To answer the most common question, yes it’s a photograph. And no, the effect was all created in camera as I moved it during the exposure. Seaside light is a special print and has a lot of painterly qualities on close viewing. Printed as a direct print on aluminum or as a traditional paper prints on fine art paper.

An interpretive view of an old, fallow apple tree in full bloom on the edge of a woodland. The ephemeral feel of this photograph stems from it being an in-camera double exposure which captures is gentle motion in a soft Spring breeze.

Spring hues of light green, soft blue, and creamy white flowers along with sinuous lines help make this print particularly special.

Up, Up and Away!

Hints of Autumn and the transition that is coming veiled within a late fall rain.

From the Fall of 2023 in the Adirondack foothills. And yes, I got thoroughly soaked, camera gear and all, but it was well worth the effort!

“Autumn Impressions.” is my representation of some of the beautiful Autumn days I have spent in these Northeastern forests. Autumn tends to be a wetter season and so I invariably find myself out in it challenging conditions. This day was no different, a stiff breeze was making the colorful tree branches sway in the wind. Larger trunks seemingly unmoved by it all. The wet weather in turn also helps to saturate the colors with its indirect light.

When I see this image it reminds me of it all, the last vestiges of warm weather and show before the resting time of Winter sets in.

This quiet, colorful rendition of Autumn is available as a limited edition of only 25 prints total and can be custom sized to fit your space. It looks fabulous in a living space as a traditional matted print on photo rag paper or as a direct metal print in matte, as shown below. I adore the casual yet refined lightly stained wood edge frame on this piece.

“Luzerne.” is the latest addition to my ongoing exploration of the Adirondack woodlands is a recognition of the Winter season, its quiet beauty, its simplicity, its bounty, its shape and form, its lines, and its role in balancing the seasonality that shapes and pushes everything both the living and inorganic.

As you look closer at it, more deeply, you’ll see repetition of patterns and the overall theme or themes will emerge for you. It’s open your interpretation, it means what you want it to mean and see.

“Luzerne.” is calm, silent, delicate, understated, but present.

The struggle between seasons at transition has always fascinated me. The first snow of the Winter. The first ice. The first thunderstorm. The first flowers poking through the forest floor. Nature always seems impatient, pushing in when the other is not ready to let go yet. Or that’s just me, a reflection of my unwillingness to embrace the inevitable.

This morning not far from my home was a great example of this struggle. Trees in full bloom just yards downslope from a mid-Spring snowstorm. The contrast was so amazingly obvious, almost as if the two seasons were wrestling or dancing with each other
